“The rooms at the back of the hotel overlook the lovely gardens, the fish pond, the pool and the river at the end of the grounds, so they are the best ones to go for :-)
There is a standalone annexe with a single bedroom and bathroom at the bottom of the garden right next to the river which is hidden beneath some trees and looks delightful!” (k1200ltgeorge)

What a charming French hotel. A very Helpful and friendly owner. Good value and spacious room. Dinner delicious (but not cheap) with excellent knowledge of produce and wine. We'd definately stay again.

This was our third visit. Sorry i never reviewed it before, i forgot! this is a real gem hotel, and a good halfway stop for us en route to Duras from the tunnel. Ludovic, and all the staff, are lovely. the rooms and beds are very nice and comfortable, the gardens tranquil, the food excellent in both restaurants. Ludovic says...

Bathrooms were quite large & beds firm/comfortable. The staff speaks excellent english and very accommodating. We dined in their more casual restaurant the first night [excellent]...

Hi, the manager and staff looked after my husband who had a broken ankle, his room was accommodating for an invalid. Dinner was the best with the earlier amuse Boucher in bar. Will go again and highly recommended. Irene

I did have a little difficulty in finding the place, so decided to call the hotel. The owner who spoke very good English as ashamedly my French stretches to the basic few greetings...

My wife and I stayed here on the way further south and would certainly recommend it to other travellers.
The bedrooms were very comfortable and the restaurant was excellent. A few days later on our way home we rang to book a room on our return journey but alas, they were full, which I suppose is a good recommendation from...

Having stayed at the Ricordeau a a couple of years ago, and found it to be the best hotel we had ever stayed at, we had no hesitation in booking again for a one-night stopover on the way from Caen to Classic Le Mans 2014; OK, we had to travel off our direct route a bit, but it is definitely...
